Tool is not in the correct place when obtained with script

I’m not exactly sure if this is exactly a problem with my script, but it seems to be, so I’m posting it here:

So I have a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts that checks if you’ve selected a certain dialog choice, and if you have, it gives you an item from ReplicatedStorage. When you get the item though, the first time you equip it, instead of it being in your hand it’s on the spot where I left it on the Workspace. The second time you equip it, it’s in your hand but the script for it doesn’t work at all.

I tested my item with the StarterPack and other methods like using ClickDetectors to give players items, and those times it works just fine, so I believe the problem is with the script. Here it is:

game.Workspace.BreadGuy.Head.Dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:Connect(function(player, pick)
	if pick.Name == "BreadWant" then
		local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
		local bread = rs.Bread:Clone()
		bread.Parent = player.Character
	end
end)

You should probably do this in a server script. You could also try using Humanoid:EquipTool.

Try parenting the tool to the Player Backpack and not to his character

So, adding the tool to the backpack and using Humanoid:EquipTool just gives the same results, and Dialog.DialogChoiceSelected is a client-side event so I can’t use serverscripts. I thought of some more ideas and I found that using a RemoteEvent makes it work properly.
